Thank you all for the reply, ************** More tests : ***************
1) I tried to input the D-word with the parameters and I did not see anychanged (checked with process explorer. The limit of the simultaneous connexion is always 10. 2) I have applied the patch from http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads . I could see that this improved the simultaneous sockets up to roughly 50. This is enough for me. 3) Since during the scan the first protocol used (and packet capteures) is using the arp protocol, the subject may be indeed a misnomer. ************ Question : ************* 1) I am not fully confident to apply the patch from http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads .on computers other than mine. Is there another solution ? 2) Still without the above patch on windows, the software "angry ip scan" for example managed to output a lot of more socket connection. How is it possible ? Regards. Sebastien.
